FKF incumbents must not be allowed to bend election rules
What you need to know:
- Last Wednesday, after conniving in dark chambers, the incumbents came up with new rules to bar any other candidate from vying except those already in the fold.
- Those who have already shown interest for the position include Gor Semelang’o, Ronnie Osumba, Alex Ole Magelo, Nahashon Oluoch ‘Lule’, Nick Mwendwa, Sam Nyamweya and we expect others to declare their candidature.
- If we expand this illegality to the national level it would be equal to having the president of Kenya declaring that one cannot vie for the post of president unless he has been a cabinet secretary.
A man passing by the wall of a mental hospital heard the patients within counting. It was baffling because they were just chanting the number ‘13’. They repeated it so many times until our man got curious and wished to see just what these mentally-impaired people were counting.
There was a hole on the wall just big enough to allow him to peek inside the compound. No sooner did he place his left eye on the hole than he was poked in the most painful manner possible.
Tears poured from the injured eye and as he staggered away half-blind, the chant within the walls had turned to “14... 14... 14...” apparently the deranged people within had already poked fourteen prying eyes and counting...
The mad people in FKF are now chanting with frenzy about the thirteenth November 2015 polls. There are many well meaning eyes that wish to probe into this asylum and perhaps save it from deterioration but the incumbents are so mad that they seek to poke those eyes in the most illegal way.
At the moment, Fifa rules do not matter at all and the paper they are written upon are being used by the incumbents as free toilet paper.
Last Wednesday, after conniving in dark chambers, the incumbents came up with new rules to bar any other candidate from vying except those already in the fold. The rules which stink to the high heavens state:
“One must have been a member of the FKF National Executive Committee (NEC) or served as a branch official for one term or served as a chairman of FKF Premier League, Kenyan Premier League or the Women’s’ League. The candidate must also be endorsed by at least five FKF Branches with every branch expected to nominate a single candidate for every post available.”
There are many competent Kenyans who wish to vie for the post of president of FKF and bring in their expertise to help save our football. Those who have already shown interest for the position include Gor Semelang’o, Ronnie Osumba, Alex Ole Magelo, Nahashon Oluoch ‘Lule’, Nick Mwendwa, Sam Nyamweya and we expect others to declare their candidature.
But after the rules were announced on Wednesday, it means that all these candidates have been locked out of the race and as such only Nyamweya and FKF Premier League chairman Nick Mwendwa qualify for the elections.
The rules were firmly endorsed by Mwendwa who was quoted saying: “We can’t just allow people from nowhere.” Surely, are all the candidates with wide experience on the pitch and in football administration ‘people from nowhere’?
If we expand this illegality to the national level it would be equal to having the president of Kenya declaring that one cannot vie for the post of president unless he has been a cabinet secretary. These are the concerns that were raised by former player Oluoch when the mad people tried to poke his eye.
This stupidity must be rebutted immediately. The elections shall be a sham if contestants are the ones making illegal rules that favour them. They must not be allowed to poke more eyes since that asylum wall must be breached.
